Meanwhile, golfer Padraig Harrington, 41, boasts one of the fullest facial efforts on the celebrity scene.

Chris Wolstenholme, 33, from rockers Muse has grown several moustaches for Movember and is sporting another this year.

He said: “It’s a very important thing to raise awareness.”

But TV star and radio host Chris Evans, 46, wasn’t impressed by his own growth. The gingernut moaned: “there’s not much going on.”

US pop star Joe Jonas, 23, said: “Doing my part to raise Money and Awareness for Prostate Cancer. Help me and My Mustache by donating!”

Movember started in 2003 after a group of men in a pub in Australia thought growing moustaches would be a fun way to raise cash for men’s charities. This year £50million has already been raised across the world and £11m in the UK.

Movember UK spokesman Sarah Coghlan said: “We’ve had great support from sports people and other celebrities as well as the man on the street.”
